Love = You

As we grow older together, as we continue to change with age, there is one thing that will never change. . . I will always keep falling in love with you.

There is this story that happened many moons ago, of a lion and a lamb. It is said there are many of such stories in many lands. But this one comes from under the land of three moons, where it was more dark then light during the passing days.

The lion and lamb has come together after many trials and again that was another story to be told in another time. This story happened in the eleventh month of the year and they were happily going about their lives but the lion had recently taken to viewing the stars late into the night. Fascinated with the sky above and kept watch until the wee hours of the morning. And her hunting paid a dear price as she was late to rise. She was tired easily by the end of days but would still crawl out to look at the stars.

The lamb was at first oblivious to these changes and merely sat by her side to watch the stars and often rode around the den to his own delight. But one morning, he arose to find her tired and suffering from too little rest. The lamb baa-ed in worry and cuddled close to her. She was gently rising and the day was growing old. But she still rose and went out to hunt.

Hunted she did while the little lamb rested in the den. Filled with anxiety and worry, the lamb scribbled on the walls messages for the lion:

1) Get enough shut eye so that when I look into your eyes, they're so clear that the only thing I can see in them is me
2) Hunt with patience and it's only just a living so treasure all the small things matter more. Like your smile on a Friday
3) Today, I missed you so I carved your name with all the love I could find and still it doesn't explain how much you mean to me
4) Baby, I love you

With that, the lamb rested and ate his wheat while patiently waiting for his lion to return.

Perhaps this is not everyone's conventional story but this is a story of a lamb worried about his lion. He loves her very much with everything that he has and he only wants the best for her. So he writes this note, only for her; with just one message: I Love You.

PS. Bie, it is often said that we were given two hands to hold, two legs to walk, two eyes to see, two ears to listen, but why only one heart? Because the other was given to someone else. For us to find. I am lucky I found mine in you. Love you bie
